an URL to the public key into the URL field and then use the fetch sub
command of the --card-edit menu to retrieve the key. Shalom-Salam, Werner

Can't we  recreate/guess the public part from the private part, at least
from off-card keys ?
I noticed that importing a private key from en export also create the
public one.
(Unless the public key is always embeded in the secret export)
